Research
The research of our group focuses on the dynamics of complex systems with many interacting components, like Earth’s climate, and complicated systems with highly nonlinear behaviour, like water waves and laser filamentation. High nonlinearity often implies feedback mechanisms that can yield to fascinating features like self amplification, pattern formation, multistability, and chaos.
We like to draw parallels between systems and transfer knowledge from one to another. In this context, we are especially interested in nonlinear optics (laser filamentation); fluid dynamics; the occurrence of extreme events, such as rogue waves and storms; and climate physics, from paleoclimate studies to simplified models, including advanced techniques for visualization and statistical analysis.
Besides, we enjoy using and developing simple, low-cost, and smart sensors and sensor networks for environmental monitoring.
We are part of the Life in the Universe Centre at the AV短视频.
